Reason to smile

I wish someone could give me a good reason to smile right now. Something to laugh about. Right now I can think of no good reason to smile or laugh. My life. My life, my whole life is heartbreaking. I thought good things are supposed to happen to people who do good things? I'm dying of a broken spirit and a broken heart. What's the cure?

May Love Abound

May the lonely be comforted. May love abound and divisions between us cease to exist. May all beings of the earth feel safe and free of fear. May we each continue on the path towards enlightenment with gladness and diligence.

Prayer for Peace, Love, and Happiness

Let me be loved, let me be happy, let me be peaceful.
Let my friends be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let my perceived enemies be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let all beings be happy, loved, and peaceful.
Let the whole world experience these things.

I Look to Thee in Every Need

I look to Thee in every need, and never look in vain;
I feel Thy strong and tender love, and all is well again.
The thought of Thee is mightier far than sin and pain and sorrow are.

Discouraged in the work of life, disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road.
But let me only think of Thee and then new heart springs up in me.

Thy calmness bends serene above, my restlessness to still;
Around me flows Thy quickening life, to nerve my faltering will.
Thy presence fills my solitude, Thy providence turns all to good.

Enfolded deep in Thy dear love, held in Thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold, and all things in Thy hand.
Thou leadest me by unsought ways, and turn my mourning into praise.

Searchin' For My Soul

AMEL LARRIEUX LYRICS

"Searchin' For My Soul"

Once I was happy
Once I was alive
With the spirit of life's beauty
and a limit of the sky
Watching lives get taken
Made something in me die
and every day is a struggle for
my spirit to survive

somehow i lost the will to be
cuz my soul simply crept outside of me

Somebody tell me where'd it go
Searchin' for my soul
I Thought it was stayin' but now I don't
Searchin' for my soul
It left an empty space you know
Searchin' for my soul
If you should see it send it home

I try to be strong but my strength
is skin deep
if happiness is coming , i hope i have
the vision to see
i'm so heavy hearted
i got billy's blues
lately i can't even bring myself to watch the news
oh, i feel the weight of all the world
is resting on the shoulders of this girl

Every time one of us goes down
it's Like I'm looking at my own
blood on the ground
Seems like everybody's lost their minds
And I just might be the next one in line

[Chorus]

Searchin' for my soul
Searchin' for, searchin' for, searchin' for my soul
[Repeat]

azlyrics.com is completely wrong for this song!!!!! :(
My lyrics are correct, directly from cd sleeve
other posted amel lyrics are cut and paste, so I'll have to look them over too

Get Up

AMEL LARRIEUX LYRICS

"Get Up"

6 am
Getting out of bed again
Can't get back in
Cuz sl eep ain't gonna pay the rent
Day to day
They got you working like a slave
Takin' credit for the work you gave
And stealing your raise
But I

[Chorus:]
I know you're down
When you gon get up
I see you're down
When you gon get up
I know you're down
When you gon get up
I see you're down
When you gon get up

People try
To pull the wool over your eyes
Don't know why
They want to profit from your demise
They lie
To cove r up how weak they are inside, oh
Baby, baby don't you cry
All you got's you r pride
So I

[Chorus]

[Chorus (repeat till end)]

AMEL LARRIEUX LYRICS

"I N I"

A little girl i was looking at a magazine
Wonderin' why i could never find to many girls that look like me
All i saw was hair so blonde and eyes so very blue
And the words under the picture said and you can get this look to

They cannot define beautiful to me
Someone elses eyes don't see what i see
Followin like i'm blind just won't do for me
God made me just fine that's why i got to be

Chorus
Ini, ini
[repeat]

Some people talkin bout when judgement day will come
Looking down upon those not down with their religion
You must believe in all they say and all they do
And if you don't then heaven's gate's are closed to you

I do not subscribe to their philosophy
I don't think my god wants them judgin me
Followin like i'm blind just wont do for me
God knows what's in my heart
That's why i got to be

chorus:
Ini,ini
